Last autumn I was in India during Diwali, the “Festival of Lights” which takes place every year to
celebrate the victory of good over evil. This festival lasts for five days and is held at the end of October or in
the first week of November.
Preparations began weeks before the event. People cleaned their homes and painted wonderful
designs called rangolis on the walls and floors. They bought beautiful new clothes and jewelry to wear
during the festival. Women made delicious sweets which were better than any others I have ever tasted.
During the five days of Diwali, every home and temple was decorated, inside and outside, with
lovely clay lamps and colourful candles. After dark, the whole neighbourhood glittered with thousands of
tiny lights, as though in a fairy tale. Excited children set off firecrackers, and at first I was frightened by the
loud bangs, but the spectacular display was so fascinating that I soon joined in the spirit of celebration.
Diwali is a deeply moving festival. I am very grateful I had the chance to share in this celebration of
peace and harmony. I have fond memories of the experience, and in particular I will never forget how
friendly and generous people were.
